Analog Argus

• 

  request example - get all models

• 

  Analog Argus has been created to display the average prices retrieved by the API. Postman helps to develop this part.

Inspiration

I'm looking for a camera model (analog) but I don't know if it's expansive. Also, I don't know if I can sell to the best price. I wished create a simple website to display the good price (like a blue book, or argus as we say in France) but there's no resources to provide my application with these data. So, I develop a tiny api to get brand, model and search a specific model. This last feature is based on beautiful soup (web scraping) to fetch the searched model and compute an average price.

Of course, this api is used for personal usage but you can fork this project to do the same thing.

What it does

Provide a list of brand, models and search and compute average price for a given model

How we built it

Api build with Django Rest Framework

Challenges we ran into

Accomplishments that we're proud of

What we learned

A simple way to find a good price if you love analog camera (film camera)
